[Despite herself, Trish returns Bruno's initial scrutiny, but for different reasons. She had witnessed frankly incredible things when she was washed away by the tidal wave that was Passione and it's undertow of mutiny. A battle where her only stake was...existing. That she had to piece together what Stands were and how a turtle could ferry them around...honestly makes this situation just as frustrating but far more bearable now that she has Spice Girl to fall back on, along with a rudimentary knowledge of just how bizarre things could get.
Go ahead, try and be weird at her, slime land. She'll be weird right back!
That Bruno doesn't attempt to cobble together some ramshackle explanation placates her more than him struggling to make up some pithy theory that sounds correct. No, it's pure honesty he offers her, and that makes her...happy. She didn't expect him to open a dialogue with her so quickly! No choice but to return the favor, then.
So she waves him off, pretending for a moment like the slime isn't driving her insane with how it pools into her boots now that she's quasi-standing.]
My reward is always kind of poor. But it's alright, I suppose. As long as I live, I can make the most of it.
[That's what Bruno tried so hard to afford her, isn't it? Just...a chance. A chance where she had had none.
If anything, Bruno's reward for all he had accomplished was much worse, and any complaints on her part would seem awfully petty.]
I haven't seen Giorno or Mista either, so you'll have to make the most of this too, Bucciarati. I'm all you've got.
[Not ideal, she knows, since she was still relegated to turtle time until the end even with the manifestation of her Stand. She places her hand on her hip with that, watching Bruno's expression.]
